Shilpi Agarwal | Nidhi Prakash "When Silence Speaks: Exploring Reasons of Silent Treatment from Perspective of Source" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-6 | Issue-3, April 2022, pp.1458-1472, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd49757.pdf

The present research aims to explore source’s reasons of using silent treatment in context of a relational dyad. The sample consisted of 10 female unmarried participants of 20-27 years of age. In-depth interviews were conducted and thematic analysis was used to identify the recurrent themes. It was found that majority of participants used silent treatment with close others whom they consistently define as someone who accepts them unconditionally. While the reasons for silent behavior varied across different relationships, feelings of hurt, anger and frustration were found to be the most widespread factors that predisposed the participants to using silent treatment. This study also provides novel insights regarding power dynamics between the interact ants of silent treatment, an area which remains largely unreported in previous researches.
